I registered with LG just to vent on this product, which thankfully has been discontinued: 1) Terribe UI. Takes multiple steps to do the simplest things...can't even enter time with the numbers on the remote!!! You have to use arrows. That is just one of many issues with the UI. 2) Almost never records fully, stops recording, won't initialize the RW disk (multiple brands) now it won't even re-initialize a disk that it has used before.

We love this player! Fantastic, but it would be wonderful if it would play HD files MP4, MOV, etc from USB card media, or had a HD video input. The on unit controls are sleek, but a little hard to use as non-tech savvy people get confused. 'always on when on' would be nice (controls), but if you are looking for a great play anything Broadcast receiver/record almost anything player, this is the best one compared to the others at the store, and still is. Thanks again, LG.
